Fly Season Brings Pinkeye

What’s the issue?

What’s the impact?

If the infection of Pinkeye is severe, the infected animal can lose the eye and will use the ability to see.

Severe pain decreases appetite in cattle which can lead to a decrease in weight gain and potentially milk loss in lactating cows.

There are many products out there to help eliminate flies including: pour ons, baits, premise sprays, feed additives and fly predators, which are a non-invasive insect that feed on a pest insect’s pupae.

Vaccinate your cattle against the common strains of pinkeye prior to fly season. Work with your veterinarian on the appropriate vaccine to use.

If you have vaccinated your cattle and are stilling having outbreaks of pinkeye, culturing the eye to see exactly what strain of pinkeye you are dealing with may be beneficial.

Having an autogenous vaccine created is an option that should be discussed with your veterinarian.
